Even More Punk Bands
(Speakeasy, Dig Dug, and Inbred Whiteboy)
Speakeasy
SpEAkEasY
 The first time I saw this band was when The Gops played the Wade Road Skate Park. Of course Smart Aleck (R.I.P.) was supposed to play, but that very day they broke up and were never heard from again. Who could have seen the success that these guys would have from then? These guys are now concidered one of the best bands in Texas!!! This 4 man and 1 woman band took the stage with power. The closest style I can really compare them to is So Cal (or Melodicore take your pick). I was really impressed by the complexity of their music, the awesome fast driven beat, and some well focused vocals. If you hear of a show go see it or everyone will make you regret it! If you know of a web page or logo e-mail me.
Dig Dug

 Many people try to define punk by looks-but these guys define punk by themselves. Dig Dug is a great three-man punk band out of the Houston Metro area. I saw them when they played with The Nimoys and Slapstick. They put on a great show playing a style along the more modern lines of punk (hey, it's cool!), but also addressed many punk issues such as: opresssion, anarchy, and just having fun. The reason I state this is because most bands who sing about this stuff do it just for the crowds and don't really understand opression. Dig Dug not only sang about it, but had a passion for it. I know these guys have a 7" that you can buy at Vinyl Edge. Yes, they are still around, but you gotta look really hard for a concert by them. They should be back this summer.
Inbred Whiteboy
Inbred Whiteboy has been lowering the property value of Houston for sometime now; aimlessly playing about Houston (including gigs as a death metal Culture Club cover band). Their quest for world domination has been sullied on a couple of occasions due to the need to kick people that suck out of the IWB coalition (Daren Belunek), until their savior Brady Hammond spread his teachings of the Last Wish. Now the IWB force has returned with a vengeance, a new line up, an incoherent, abusive, and generally mean-spirited music video, and an album in the works. This band conciders themselves to be the worst band in Houston, but I STRONGLY DISAGREE. They guys are cool and I sometimes see them hanging out at Rembrant's. The got CD's, Videos, and a whole lot of parties. They are da coolest. A good friend of mine describes them as 'punk white trash'. See for yourself by going here.
